It's not because you can do it that you use the possibility.
It's clear that there are other perspectives then only the technical ones, but those too are part of the reality and perception.
The benefit of a statement like: "we could do it but we didn't" has a bigger impact then what happens now.
A bit of the line of this tread but in the same context of public perception would be: " We went into IRAK to go and get back the WMD that we sold to him" it would make the issue more publicaly acceptable.
Sorry to make this step on the side, no political intention, just a note on how things may be percieved.
